humans?

never did quite understand that

I guess if they're raucous, dangerous, out of control or unreasonably psychotic then it's understandable to remove them from society in some capacity, but that's a pretty small minority

it's just a weird thing to me. it doesn't seem like it would be inherently a human thing to want to control others. seems like that's a learned kind of behavior *thinking_face.gif*

this has been a RD Philosophy 101 Thread

The Bottom Line
You are likely correct that the excessive need to control is learned. We are born wanting to be free; we are taught to be managers and subordinates. The most secure humans generally feel very little need to control anyone but themselves.

in my experience, a person believing in natural hierarchies has been the best predictor of this kind of behavior -- how a person thinks about and treats animals, for example, will tell you pretty much what you need to know about how they will treat humans, including you

It is very disconcerting to know you reproduced.

I hope none of them are actually yours. Probably should get a DNA test
